Drug Addiction

What Is Drug Addiction

Drug addiction is a disorder that affects a person’s physical and mental behaviour; they are unable to control their consumption of drugs. When drug addiction is present, individuals will continue to take the substance regardless of the harm it may be causing.

Drug addiction can develop for many different reasons. It can start after a traumatic experience, through life stresses, or social situations, or can be the result of prescription drug addiction from a previous injury where you required medication. The risk of addiction and how quickly you may become addicted largely depends on the particular drug.

It is important you seek professional help when dealing with drug addiction as the withdrawal symptoms of quitting could be dangerous if attempted alone. Reach out to our team of specialists today to start your road recovery.

 

The Facts About Drug Addiction

Drug addiction is rising. Of the 130,490 people who started treatments for drugs and alcohol between 2020 and 2021, 85% were for drug addiction.[1] With the vicious circle of consumption and withdrawal symptoms leading to higher doses, individuals are becoming susceptible to addiction.

Drug addiction is a chronic illness, causing both psychological and physical effects if used long-term. Whether a prescribed drug or an illegal substance, dangers continue to affect more people.

Although a drug addiction develops from a differing immediate factor, long-term, the damage is probable for most if used consistently. From peer pressure and environmental influences to stress and social use, there are many stimuli causing addiction.

Are you currently experiencing influencing factors moving you towards a drug addiction? Symptoms of drug addiction include the inability to reduce consumption, physical and psychological cravings and the need to increase consumption for effect. If you are experiencing any signs or side effects from consumption, it is advised that medically-assisted drug detox is sourced.

Here at Asana Lodge, we offer a wide range of therapies, including addiction treatment, helping those seeking expert support diminish their habits and connected mental health issues.
